I am 22 years old and I work as a host so ofcourse I always talk and smile. but after like 2hours I start having a crease around on the left side on my mouth, I gett super self conscious of it. the primer I use is smashbox white tube. and then I use my born this way foundation by too face.
any help is very appreciated

I would make sure that area is smoothed out after foundation, and then set it with powder and a damp sponge. You can even bake if you want, that'll help a lot.

I find products that are meant to be more moisturizing/hydrating tend to be more likely to crease. I'm not saying, don't use these products but merely keep that in mind.
What I do is only use whatever is left on your brush or sponge (after doing the rest of your face) and apply it in areas prone to creasing, basically using less product in that area.

How you apply powder can effect how well your face is set.
For areas that are prone to creasing I like to use a powder puff, some loose translucent powder and do the press and roll technique to really press the foundation onto your skin and set it rather than using a powder brush and only adding a minimal amount of powder which doesn't help much in actually setting your makeup IMO.
Baking could also help but I'm assuming you have dry skin and if that's the case, that technique can end up causing you to look very dry
